#506 - No way to override inbuilt memory limit

Identifier #506
Issue type Minor issue (breaks specific functionality)
Title No way to override inbuilt memory limit
Status Completed
Handling member Chris Graham
Version 8.1
Addon General / Uncategorised
Description Composr impsoes a 64MB memory limit, and only raises it in a very small number of hard-coded situations. If you really want to display huge numbers of results on a screen this poses a problem.

Add new hidden value that can be set in Commandr using:
[code]
:set_value('memory_limit','256M');
[/code]
for example.

And document in Code Book:
" memory_limit - set this to a memory limit to override Composr's built in one (e.g. "128M"). This will make memory bugs on your server more dangerous, so use at your own risk (a memory usage problem can take down a whole server) - although memory bugs are unlikely given that Composr users report if they ever see this error."

Hotfixes

hotfix-506, 2012-05-26 7pm.tar

Only apply these hotfixes if you absolutely need them and cannot wait until the next release of Composr (releases are more reliable and strictly tested). We provide no guarantee that hotfixes will work; they may even break your site especially if a hotfix depends on another hotfix. Always make a site backup if you attempt to apply a hotfix.

As of Composr version 11, the recommended way to apply a hotfix is by following the same steps as an upgrade:

  1. Download the hotfix into the data_custom folder of your Composr installation directory
  2. Back up your site
  3. Go to yourbaseurl/upgrader.php
  4. When you get to the 'Transfer across new/updated files' step, use the hotfix that you downloaded.
  5. The upgrader will automatically apply hotfix files, skipping any files belonging to addons that you do not have installed, and also skipping hotfix files that are older than the files on disk
  6. Run a database upgrade if prompted
  7. You may wish to run a file integrity scan and resolve issues.

For Composr version 10, manually extract the files (e.g., using 7-Zip) and overwrite files in your Composr installation that are older than the ones in the hotfix (check the file modification date/time). Skip hotfix files that do not exist in your installation.
